46: Description: Red Trail descending from saddle with Sky Ridge. Trail creates a loop with segment 47 that descends to the flat above the bend in the river and then climbs up again.

Concern: Over 30% and in some sections fall line. The current alignment will not hold up under heavy use. The flat above the river has been mentioned as a popular scenic area of the park. It is very picturesque and opposite the highest rock cliff in the park. However reaching it via a loop trail creates difficulties.

Recommended action: Reroute. Attain a 15% or less average grade, avoiding any grades greater than 20%. Also, construct a contour trail to gas line ford to replace current eroding trail. The gas line ford connects with segment 82 and creates summertime access to the east side of Hunter’s Creek. This is a popular crossing that is unlikely to remain closed.
